Irish don’t understand HPV, says research
The number of cancer survivors in Ireland is set to double to almost 350,000 over the next 25 years but, at the same time, research shows that most Irish people have little understanding of a preventable virus that can cause cancer.
According to the National Cancer Survivorship Needs Assessment, Living With and Beyond Cancer, the needs of cancer survivors and their families are not being fully addressed and it says action needs to be taken to address more fully their needs and the needs of their families.
